Imagine going on a “behind the scenes tour” at a Natural History museum and being able to open a drawer of beautiful insects. What a thrill to see such an arrangement of such delicate and beautiful little jewel-like creatures. Their wings reflect such light, color, and detail. They are truly fascinating and pretty. Blending the two worlds of science and art create an amazingly elegant insect wing pendant. Start with creating a base from brass and building a bezel setting to fit your perfect little wonderment. You will learn some great techniques for making lovely bezel settings for this project and beyond. Build a lovely little collage out of an insect wing, vintage images and text, then set it carefully under glass. Finish your project with creating a necklace for your pendant, make a sturdy clasp, and wire wrap little adornments for detail.
This is a project class and each student will come away with a finished piece of art to wear.
